Achieving business goals with Red Hat Consulting
accelerate your innovation.
This Red Hat Consulting assessment focuses on 3 core areas:
Strategy: We delve deep into the business objectives behind the migration and modernization of
CentOS systems. Red Hat consultants ensure clear timelines and identify the key stakeholders
involved. This stage also includes reviewing and tailoring system requirements and addressing
standard operating environment (SOE) needs.
Workloads and applications: Through dedicated workshops with application and platform teams,
we gain insights into existing workloads, dependencies, team structures, and operational pro-
cesses. This helps in effectively mapping OS dependencies for the applications on their current
platforms.
Platform and infrastructure: Our team understands the intricacies of platforms integrated with
the OSs, including their architectures, cloud interfaces, service level agreements (SLAs), and
customizations. We also factor in integrations like monitoring, backup, metrics, logging,
repositories, authentication, and other IT service management (ITSM) processes.
At the conclusion of the migration assessment, customers will come away with the essential tools
